Another Fine Mess (MGM 1930, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy)
In this Laurel and Hardy comedy, Stan and Ollie hide out from the police in the wealthy home of Colonel Buckshot (James Finlayson), a game hunter currently away on safari. Comedy ensues when Lord and Lady Plumtree call upon the house with the intention of renting it. Ollie pretends to be Buckshot, while Stan doubles as the butler–and the maid.
Another Fine Mess was based on a sketch originally written in 1908 by Stan’s father, an English Music Hall performer.
